The documentation is not clear on this.

I want to use a character from the wingding.ttf font as a symbol on the
map.

in my fontset file, I have listed a few fonts including wingding.

I tried to define it in my symbol file, but I think I'm missing
something.

Symbol
Type truetype
Font wingding
Character 'S'
Antialias
END

has anyone sucessfully used a font character as a symbol on a map?
